violet aquarium

[paul17]

hi reefers just wanted to see if people have gone to
violet aquarium in san jose. I was not expecting much
when I pulled up to the front of the store. when I got inside I was
very impressed on how healthy the fish looked. over all I liked the store a lot
does any body go there just wanting to get some feed back thx

purchased corals and fish from them and never had issues. I believe they quarantine their livestock in the back before releasing it for sale.

Mudha is awesome. Be buying from him since he started the business in his garage. All fish were TTM treated.

Haven't been in a few weeks, but last I was there he had a decent selection of fish. The only quarantining he does is tank transfer method. I have seen visible ich trophonts on his fish, however they do seem much healthier as compared to other stores in the area. Can't speak for his corals as I have't bought any from him.

I am going to check it out soon . . . any other recommendations for more 'rare' fish other than AC is also appreciated.

don't forget, TTM does not treat flukes or velvet.

Only problem with all local vendors, is they all have a very poor guarantee. Was able to squeeze a day out of one of our more reputable stores. I like to keep money local so I do buy my inexpensive fish from AC. But from now on going to order more expensive fish online from a company with 15-30 guarantee. Up to 100.00 I'll buy close to home, after that online.

Tec was the only person I know that did a real quarantine. But sadly this world doesn't work in favor of people that give a great product.

I know AC wants to set up quarantine. But than there's the cost factor. Everyone wants this great product. But out of all these penny pinchers around here, who will buy them. This a very tuff crowd in this bay area.

What is a”real quarantine”? TTM is not?

 

[paul17]

what is ttm

 

[MMacro]

TTM (tank transfer method) only treats ich.
Velvet, uronema, flukes, black ich, intestinal parasites/flagellates, etc... will all survive ttm.
